Abstract

     Most governments in the international system seek to establish a defensive force to prevent external interference in their internal affairs. The situation for Israel is somewhat different. Being surrounded by enemies from all sides, it requires  to be a superior power by possessing defensive capabilities that are greater than the countries of the region, and this would not have been achieved without the support of the great powers, such as the United States of America, the countries of the European Union, as well as the former Soviet Union, as it searches ( Israel) strives to possess nuclear weapons and monopolize them only in the Middle East region to enable it to excel in military capabilities over the countries of the region, and due to the support of European countries such as France, it possessed the nuclear bomb, and despite the dependence of the countries of the North, or what are known as the Central Powers, on the oil of the (developing) South countries. Arab-American relations were not equal to American-Israeli relations, and in addition to electronic power and cyber power, it worked to develop its capabilities in cyberspace, and all of these developments it achieved in the field of defense capabilities had an impact on the Middle East, in all fields.
